Tim Pawsey whose e-mail address was in the article) was prompt in his response to my e-mail requesting directions to the dock where we would find spot prawns. The following Wednesday, before we moved into our apartment, we cruised around False Creek on our bikes to Go Fish. By the time we got there at 1 p.m., they were out of their preparation of spot prawns. We read on the board at the nearby False Creek Public Fish Sales Dock that the spot prawn boat was due in at that time. When the boat arrived we queued and asked if we could eat the spot prawns raw. The guys said yes, sold us 4, and we feasted on a park bench near the dock on our “sashimi style” spot prawns. Really excellent and such a great experience to find them! Thank you Tim.

P.S. Once in our apartment we shopped at the Real Canadian and bought 2 small east coast lobsters for $6.99 each and ate them with gusto. It appears we are in shellfish heaven.
